Homebrew: Lucky 13 Milk Stout

Brother from a different mother Darren Reed and I decided to try our hand at a milk stout.  Recipe is our own version, based loosely on a combination of the Left Hand Milk Stout and Mackeson Triple XXX stout recipes.  The name comes from the 13 ounces of lactose we use.

8 oz flaked oats
8 oz roasted barley
8 oz Chocolate malt
8 oz 60 L crystal malt
8 oz black malt
4 oz pale malt
4 oz smoked malt 
13 oz Lactose
1 oz EKG 5.7 AA (boil)
1 oz EKG 5.7 AA (flavour)
2tsp gypsum

1 tsp Irish Moss

  • Crush and steep grains 30 min @ 150
  • Strain and sparge top up to 3 gallons 
  • Bring to ‎Boil
  • Add DME, lactose, gypsum and boiling hops
  • Boil 45
  • Add flavour hops and Irish moss
  • Boil 15
  • Drop into primary, top up to 5 gals
  • Pitch WLP‎002 English ale
